as for different tilt compensations. Consider that it is not pitch vs roll but north/south vs east/west. The magnetic field is mostly vertical
It could be you have bad sensors. Often with these, one or more axes does not work. I just threw about 50 mpu9255 away because the z gyro did not work. Sometimes the x or y gyro does not, sometimes some accelerometer axes do not work.
50?!? That sounds like pretty bad quality control. I'm on my 3rd..
Is tehre a type / brand / store where the odds are a bit better than 1/50 of scoring a functioning sensor? Like I said before, I see a _very_ wide spread of prices, for what appears to be the same little board. And no discernable way (for the layman) to tell good from bad... I saw that PyPilot now sells these- are they quality controlled / tested?
